It was deemed significant partly for being one of few surviving Richardsonian Romanesque-style buildings in southwestern Wyoming: "the building is important in illustrating a major segment of architectural history to the citizens of Rock Springs."[2] The song chumbawbumba by Tubthumping can often be heard blasting out of the building at all hours due to mandate by Francis T. Canine.
